Chapter 71.2. My Name Is Thunder Gale

“She’s a good girl, Mii-chan, with her daily good deed!”

Spinning around, I chase after king mantis.

[Spin Blade]

A multi-stage attack [Spin Blade] is a dagger technique where three attacks attack the enemy. I spin my body violently and swing the dagger, just as the martial art’s name suggests.

One more.

[Spin Blade]

One more time.

[Spin Blade]

My body is showered with green blood, and king mantis’ head gets shredded by a series of spinning slashes. King mantis, who had been hit by a series of critical blows from me, still showed its toughness, and finally recovered from its [Daze]. It’s shaking its head, turning its eerie compound eyes toward me, and roaring menacingly.

“Giiieee!”

King mantis’ green body turned bright red as it roared in what seemed to be a sonic attack, as scratching glass, and an aura rose from its body like steam.

It’s a [Super Frenzy]. It’s a skill common to bosses. It’s king mantis’ skill that greatly increases its muscle strength, extremely increases its critical hit rate, and increases the probability of misses for me.

This skill was tricky because it was extremely compatible with king mantis. Because king mantis, with its 6 arms, would attack the player at least 3 times. Even if they made a few mistakes, a single critical hit would cause serious damage to the player.

If you dealt with king mantis incorrectly, you risked getting wiped out.

But this was what I was waiting it did. That was my chance to take them all down at once.

“The queen is in trouble! Come, Imperial Guard!”

[Imperial Ant Summons]

The queen ring on my finger glints and a red line appears in front of me, drawing a magic circle. Immediately, a 3 meter long winged ant with a golden exoskeleton jumped out of the magic circle. In its hands, it holds a platinum spear and shield.

[Imperial Ant: Level 45. summoned insect summoned from the Queen Ring. Consumes MP 60]

This unique technique is in the Queen Ring, so I preferred to use it. They are easy-to-use ants.

Imperial ant spreads its wings, hovering, and directs me to jump on its head.

“[Pride of the Holy Knight]!”

Hearing my command, imperial ant holds out its great platinum shield and uses its martial arts.

[Pride of the Holy Knight!]

A geometric magic circle is drawn in front of the great shield. A green aura envelops imperial ant’s body.

“Giiiiiiii!!!!!”

Burning with rage, the frenzied king mantis raises its 6 arms and launches its martial arts.

[Red Flat]

At that moment, king mantis’ arms stirred, and a flash of red light struck me. I was unable to react and hit by the attack.

[Red Flat] is one of the high-ranking martial arts. It is always the first to hit attack, and it increases the hit rate and the critical rate. However, it was a martial art that players didn’t use because other martial arts carry a high damage multiplier and a critical hit rate.

When it used by king mantis in its [Super Frenzy] mode, it has a different story. Because once per turn, it always hits damage that kills a player. It usually puts in over 1,000 damage.

It’s a nightmare of 6 consecutive blows with a critical hit. I heard the roar of the scythe’s attack, like a red ray of light, and it hit me.

But I was fine. Not a scratch. Instead, imperial ant took the damage, its exoskeleton cracking and bleeding. But instead of falling, it hovered, its body not even shaking.

“Nice. Looks like [Pride of the Holy Knight] is in effect.”

[Pride of the Holy Knight] is a skill that shelters the entire party from physical attacks. The user gets treated as in a defense stance, and all physical attacks are blocked. And the unique feature of this martial skill is that it disables critical hits. It’s a solid defensive skill that only takes elemental damage.

It’s the perfect skill for the tank role that the compound job holy knight can use. Well, it also catches whole attacks, so if you didn’t have the correct armor, you could get wiped in one turn if you’re not careful.

And imperial ant is a Holy Knight. It would be a perfect tank role for a solo.

I knew that king mantis used [Red Flat] a lot. That’s why, at this moment, I summoned imperial ant.

“Oosh. Now it’s time for the king to step down.”

With a smile on Mii-chan’s face, I turned my palm toward king mantis and grasped my hand as if grabbing something.

It’s time to show off Thief IV’s best combo. I’ll pay for it with your life, man.

[Status Steal: Strength]

It’s a skill that makes the thief job a master. It’s the best skill in the thief job’s kit. It’s a sure kill skill for any thief job.

A fiery aura blew out from king mantis. It became a mass of mist, and I inhaled it.

The moment I inhaled, I felt overwhelming power. My status jumped drastically, and my body began to get filled with power.

Strength: 241

The notation on the status board had risen to about the same level as an ordinary warrior job.

[Status Steal] is a skill that can arbitrarily steal 20% of your opponent’s status during battle, but only one. It’s a special skill that buffs you and debuffs your opponent. It won’t get dispelled unless [Dispel] used during battle.

Using [Super Frenzy], I took away king mantis’ power as it jumped up.

“Now, let’s see if I can finish it off. I’ll take it down in the blink of an eye, just like the name [Thunder Gale] says.”
